Oxyacetylene Ionization and EMI

Oct 21, 2006 1 Replies

Hi:



An oxyacetylene flame -- due to its high temperature -- can cause nearby air molecules to ionize. Does this ionization cause electrical disturbances that can be heard on an AM radio? If my neighbor is using an oxyacetylene torch will I hear the electric noise on my AM radio? Can nearby analog televisions also experience visual disturbances from the ionization caused by the oxyacetylene flame?


Thanks,

Nope.
